Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Just to be different...this is a link-up of Interrogation through its 8th bolt (last stainless bolt) and finishing on Waterboarding. Perhaps someone had done this prior to my ascent? Just seems like a logical line to me....

Withstand all of the cruxes of Interrogation, but instead of forcing the last "hard right" move and clipping its 9th bolt follow the obvious weaknesses up and left via incipient cracks. Get a good rest and finish on Waterboarding's final crux through the black groovy bulge. In my opinion, this is an interesting and more continuous version of Interrogation.

Protection 

12 pre-existing bolts.

Possibly an optional thin hand piece (compared to the rest of the climbing it is a bit spicy (but not too hard) if you don't get gear in the link, but I did not have a rack when I lead it).
